The Federal Election Commission (FEC) releases information to the public about money that’s raised and spent in federal elections — that’s elections for US president, Senate, and House of Representatives.
Are you interested in seeing how much money a candidate raised? Or spent? How much debt they took on? Who contributed to their campaign? The FEC is the authoritative source for that information.
betaFEC is a collaboration between 18F and the FEC. It aims to make campaign finance information more accessible (and understandable) to all users.
We welcome you to explore, make suggestions, and contribute to our code.
- FEC: a general discussion forum. We compile feedback from FEC’s feedback widget here, and this is the best place to submit general feedback.
- openFEC: FEC’s API.
- fec-cms: the web app and content management system (CMS) for FEC.
- fec-eregs: the eRegulations viewer for betaFEC.
- fec-proxy: this is a lightweight app that coordinates the paths between the web app, eRegs viewer, and CMS.
- fec-shipper: loading data into the API.
- fec-infrastructure: terraform configurations for the campaign finance database
